The "One-Stop Shop" (OSS) is a free event designed to support formerly incarcerated individuals by providing access to a wide range of services aimed at successful reintegration. The event features food, music, and resources from various agencies, including the Department of Social Services, OAR, Region Ten, Goodwill Industries, New Beginnings, and the Fountain Fund. These services cover medical and mental healthcare, substance abuse counseling, legal support, license reinstatement, financial literacy, career counseling, housing access, and educational opportunities.
Launched in response to Virginia's Earned Sentence Credit law, which allowed early release for eligible incarcerated individuals, the OSS event helps address the needs of those reentering the community. The Charlottesville Albemarle Reentry Council (CARC) recognized the challenges faced by these individuals and developed the OSS to ensure they have the support needed to reintegrate and avoid recidivism. The event is open to all community members in need, regardless of incarceration status.
